Scalar (dot) product definition for JEE
Scalar and vector products
Formula
\(\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b}=|\vec{a}|\,|\vec{b}|\cos\theta\)
Variables: \(\theta\) is the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), \(0\le \theta\le \pi\).
Conditions: For nonzero vectors when using angle form.
Angle between vectors, projections, orthogonality, work-like quantities.
